Dynamic interaction between chiral currents and surface waves in topological superfluids: a pathway to detect Majorana fermions?
S. Forstner, H. Choi, G. I. Harris +3
Despite extensive experimental efforts over the past two decades, the quest for Majorana fermions in superconductors remains inconclusive. We propose an experimental method that ca…
Scalable nanomechanical logic gate
Erick Romero, Nicolas P. Mauranyapin, Timothy M. F. Hirsch +4
Nanomechanical computers promise robust, low energy information processing. However, to date, electronics have generally been required to interconnect gates, while no scalable, pur…
Tunnelling of transverse acoustic waves on a silicon chip
Nicolas P. Mauranyapin, Erick Romero, Rachpon Kalra +3
Nanomechanical circuits for transverse acoustic waves promise to enable new approaches to computing, precision biochemical sensing and many other applications. However, progress is…
Propagation and imaging of mechanical waves in a highly-stressed single-mode phononic waveguide
Erick Romero, Rachpon Kalra, Nicolas P. Mauranyapin +3
We demonstrate a single-mode phononic waveguide that enables robust propagation of mechanical waves. The waveguide is a highly-stressed silicon nitride membrane that supports the p…
Improved optomechanical disk resonator sitting on a pedestal mechanical shield
Dac Trung Nguyen, William Hease, Christopher Baker +6
We experimentally demonstrate the controlled enhancement of the mechanical quality factor Q of GaAs disk optomechanical resonators. Disks vibrating at 1.3 GHz with a mechanical shi…
Ultrahigh Q-Frequency product for optomechanical disk resonators with a mechanical shield
Dac Trung Nguyen, Christophe Baker, William Hease +6
We report on optomechanical GaAs disk resonators with ultrahigh quality factor - frequency product Qf. Disks standing on a simple pedestal exhibit GHz breathing modes attaining a Q…
